STEADY-STATE THERMOELASTIC ANALYSIS OF A FUNCTIONALLY GRADED ROTATING ANNULAR DISK
Abstract
This paper is concerned with the thermoelastic analysis of a functionally graded rotating annular disk subjected to a nonuniform steady-state thermal load. Material properties are assumed to be temperature independent and continuously varying in the radial direction of the annular disk. The variations of Young's modulus, material density, thermal expansion and conductivity coefficients are represented by a novel exponential-law distribution through the radial direction of the disk, but Poission's ratio is kept constant. The governing differential equations are exactly satisfied at every point of the disk. Exact solutions for the temperature and stress fields are derived in terms of an exponential integral and Whittaker's functions. Presented are some results for stress, strain and displacement components due to thermal bending of the rotating disk. The effects of angular velocity, inner and outer temperature loads and material properties on the stress, strain and displacement components are discussed.
